The Golden City - Custom Campaign Mission

The UNSC is ambushed by a Covenant fleet. Hopelessly outmatched in a ship to ship battle, the UNSC tries to get the Master Chief inside on of the ships to turn the tide.  Unfortunately Chiefs Pelican is shot down and he crashes on the planet bellow. While coming down, the Chief spots a forerunner building, which he believes to be a forerunner AA weapon. The Master Chief (and co-op friends) must activate these defenses in order to save the UNSC. The Covenant won't make it easy for him however. They have already set up shop on the planet. Will the Master Chief be able to save his friends? Will the Covenant put up a worthy fight? Will there be a lot of sand? Am I making all of this up on the spot? Download the mod to find out!

The Golden City is a fully custom campaign mission for Halo 3. It features a blend of on foot and vehicle combat.

The map should take you around 25-40 minutes for a first playthrough. This map can be more difficult than standard Halo 3. The map has been play tested around Legendary, but I think Heroic will be a fun challenge for most players.

This custom missions features a re-balanced sandbox. Non of the weapons are changed majorly, and still fill their original purpose. They're just generally a lot more effective now. Enemy AI has been changed to have more self preservation, while also being more aggressive. For balancing sake dual wielding has been taken out of this mod.
